Talking about ‘Right People Wrong Place’ he said, “This documentary captures the journey of RM as he worked on the album and honestly portrays his personal emotions and doubts. This film was made in nine months, which can be a short time. But actually, it took me a long time, as it delves into RM’s deep inner self. At the same time, it reflects the emotions that many people may have experienced at least once in their lives.”
Moreover, ahead of the documentary’s premiere, RM shared a message for the BTS fandom the ARMY on Weverse. He revealed that he made the documentary with the uncertainty about its release.
